How much hope do the delusional have...

Port supporters believing Voss could coach is up there with Dons' supporters who still think Hird & the players were innocent...

Lindsay Tanner imploring Jobe to keep his medal as its not proven he did anything wrong. Sad and Delusional.

Yeah, his reasoning is that most of the people ruling, including the rigged AFL tribunal had them as innocent.

The final & only independant tribunal found them guilty of cheating.

How can someone found guilty of cheating be a best & fairest?

It's a joke that the AFL didn't strip Jobe immediately after the decision. Ridiculous!

AFL is probably just hoping everyone will forget about it and then they won't actually be forced to strip him of it, or come up with some shitty excuse over why he gets to keep it.
 
I read somewhere that their zones are so choc full of talent they don't need to look anywhere else. Unbelievable.
Particularly when they can get top picks with a few 3rd/4th rounders...

What they have that memory loss instrument from Men in Black?

Seriously kidding themselves!

Just another case of the AFL killing off any remaining credibility.

The AFL wont change this at all I dont think.
They know that GWS has the least attraction for someone to live than anywhere else and so will always have retention issues (western Sydney is a shit hole), so they are happy for them to have these country boys from the Riverina set aside for GWS.
The AFL does whatever the hell it likes and treats every club differently to get the outcome they want. Kinda like how they reamed us over Tippett yet went easy on Melbourne for match fixing.
 
They have an academy so there is no point.

There are noises from the other clubs about those academy's though. They have been putting players from footy strong areas into their academy for one or two games so that they qualify for GWS to get first dibs.

They are changing it though, apparently some of the players they had no contact with. Now they need to be identified and a development plan initiated which will be monitored, how stringently who knows.
 
Apparently Voss is purposely sabotaging the club to get back at Port for 2004.

Has there ever been a more ludicrous statement on Big Footy?
No.

That's worse than the one who rhinks Port should just be growing players like Leslie and Bradley to play for them #whatAFLdraft

All smart SANFL clubs were under handed with their zones. How many kids from Darwin moved to SA and ended up in a Port Adelaide zone. How many talented juniors moved into a particular zone so they could play with certain clubs. As it stands now I bet GWS and Sydney etc are trying to convince talented juniors to move into their academy zone.

True.
However that thinking is rather moot for a Port supporter in 2016 that will never have access to a zone or academy

Still can't top a few weeks back when the port board were worried that pyke was getting coaching strategies from their board. Unbelievable.
Janus the master of the heatmap that shows you time spent in an area of the ground.
It's epic for talking garbage about your gameplans effect when a team can have it in their forward half most of the time yet get scored out the back over and over in quick spurts and make no impression.

So they werent holding up the requirements of their academy and so rather than have it taken away or reduced the AFL gives them a tap on the wrist. Kinda like when GWS broke AFL rules with Phil Davis, but rather than them lose Phil Davis for illegally signing him the AFL told them not to do it again. Just imagine if we illegally signed Eddie Betts, like Malthouse accused us of.....

probably lose 4 draft picks and have to pick up eddie in the pre season.
 
Completely agree. Dunstall was trying to equate it with Ablett getting kneed - and frankly, that maybe should have gotten a game, but protecting the head is FAR more important.

Both equally appalling IMO. Knees in the back could be devastating (internal/spinal damage).
